Weather: blue sky and warm about 35-40
Equipment: Ride Yukon 164
After an epic east coast day at Plattekill yesterday I hopped on a plane to new mexico this morning. Got in to Santa Fe at around 2pm local time and headed up to Ski Santa Fe. I got to the mountain at around 2:45 and jumped on the quad chair. Met some nice locals showed me where to find the goods. Took the quad to the new millennium triple chair. Went down the sunrise glade to the sunset glade. There were some really nice tight tree shots with some fresh pow and plenty of small to medium sized rocks to air off of. Came out of the glade and went down little alpine to the #3 chair. I took the sunset trail to the tequila sunrise glade. This was a bit steeper but more open and a little bumped up. Had fun but my legs were still burning from yesterday (I am not in the powder shape I thought I was.) I took a few trails down to the quad and went up for one last run. I came down thunderbird as the lifts closed to the bar at mid station had a delicious Santa Fe Porter.
Overall: I am very impressed with this mountain and will have lots of fun tomorrow. For the few runs I took today with tired legs I would give it a 9/10. The mountain has the laid back vibe that I like in a ski area with the terrain to make it legit.
I will try and take some pics tomorrow.
